TALLMANSVILLE, W.Va. -- Funerals will begin Saturday for the men killed in the West Virginia coal mine explosion.

Flags across the state are flying at half-staff. In the county where four of the men lived, officials have already memorialized them with four crosses, each topped by a coal miner's helmet.
